Hello all

I've lurked on here forever. I just wanted to say that I cannot contain my delight! I am @northernbirdy on twitter and I have been going crazy trying to win the industry music competition to meet john james (check my page out if you like!!!) You had to tweet the hash tag #meetjohnjames to be in with a chance of winning... and win I have! Me and three friends are off to meet him!

I have posted on here a few times to thank the lovely bayla and achtung and the like for their vids. I can only hope that Josie is there too (she's so busy so perhaps not?). If there's one burning question the thread wants asked then please do collectively come up with one and I will defo make him answer!

I will absolutely without question tell him all about this thread. I can't believe it! In total shock. I have been screaming now for an hour! Never won anything in my life. This makes up for him not coming to Southampton on a PA!!!

I'll post more soon when I have details of when and where this is going to go down!

I feel sick!! I'm a grown woman of 32 - but I'm a wreck!

Them rehearsing the duet was in the day time I'm
sure. I didn't see it as I ddnt have live feed but I'm sure the odd pic I have seen of it, it has been daytime hope that helps?!

I thought you'd be good in catering, you always seem to be eating something.

I may just have to kill you!

So josie on panel with Charlie Brooker. A good funny man with excellent moral values. If Josie weren't with John James she could have taken up with him. Lol. I think he's engaged to Konnie Huq or somebody like that though, isn't he?

Oh, I just wanted to say why I love this thread so much: It can go from the sublime to the ridiculous in two posts; from discussions of Orwellian visions of a nightmare future to chat about what's in the latest gossip pages. It makes me so happy.

@Gracehater I may have to kill you too. . Congratulations girl, want all gossip.

Awwh well done yoo......very, very, very, very jealous
Have a great time

You've got OK on its way, that will take all of 10 minutes.

Thats completely irrelevant, that was a opinion... i think Coolio saying to Nadia "Let me check under your skirt to see if you have a dick" is personally disgusting... Nadia was in bits on Live From Studio 5... I feel for her and said she will take legal action, C4 will be in trouble.

ooh I liked that - that was the first time Josie publicly stood up for John with Benjaminge instead of just laughing with him. Made it clear she loved john as much as he loved her.

Oh Linny!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved it!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for that, truly!!!

thanks very funny they never showed the good bits

Tell you what? I already tell you everything anyway. Eg. Am having fishcakes for dinner.

Ahhh I saw you were one of the winners. Well done and welcome to this fluffy place.
Yes tell him about us but make sure he comes here not out there or he will get banned lol
Lots of pics please and a full report required.
Oh and ask him what that is on his necklace? Hair, rope, string. Its driving me nuts.

You tell your hubby its much easier to say when you sing it.

Haha that's true! Actually, probably more than 10 mins beacuse I am going to read it over and over and over and over again! Can't wait!

Congrats Grace! That's superexciting! Yay you!!

You want me to say it?? You want me to s a y it???

Ok, I'll say it!!!

The books - the books - which author, which books???

There, happy now???

Don't lurk
Don't lurk
Don't lurk

How's your back?

problem is following the whole jade thing BB have to be really careful what they air on TV in case it causes offence. they should however have made it clear what happened. Not a Nadia fan but she shouldn't have to listen to that sort of bile.

Ooh no. Phenomenon by LLCoolJ is the best foreplay song ever. Did I just type that out loud?

Life





When you dip your toes in the water of life
Does it excite you? Does the tingle flood you
Right up to the heart and around your mind
Like a whitewater rapid ride? Or is it scary?
Do you want to look down, or close your eyes
And hide away from its impetus?

Does every taste, of every day fill you with hope
Or, does it make your dreams go up in smoke?
Do you jump into the vortex of happiness
Or search for the glooms of despair
Wondering what you'll find there.. dark?
Or does the sunshine flood your soul with a spark?

Do you wish you could sing the birdsong...
Fly to the moon and dive to the earth
Drink in the nuances of life, with a greedy thirst
Grasp every moment and make it your own
Savour each sensation that's to man known
And search for those yet to be discovered?

A proverbial box of chocolates, this life..
Hard centres, soft, the magical wonder when
You bite into the sinful pleasures and
Close your eyes as you open your soul to experience
And new pleasures, new finds, new beginnings
Do you close your chapters on this journey with regret?

Or do you rush headlong into the next....
Reading the last page before it's played itself out?
Writing the story, before it's fulfilled
Its destiny, making it what you want it to be
Writing history, before it's happened...
Or maybe you stand back, and look, and feel...

Excitement, joy, pain and grief, we all bare
When we delight in the miracles of being
When we look, really deep and find we're seeing
When we listen very hard and realise we're hearing
When we touch and fireworks explode because we're feeling
When we reach out and cradle anothers heart

I struggle with Preliminary - and its a word i have to use alot at work.

It does look that way! Its one of the most natural looking ones, I love it


I think it was before Josie walked.

What did you just call me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You will be inundated with followers

If the thread had ONE QUESTION I suspect it would be what did they say in the garden when they took their mikes off?

Am I right, thread?

Clickety clack!!!



(so sorry, I really couldn't resist)
